Mrs.Y, where do you get these awesome cat avatars from? They are grrrrreat! --G.

http://www.icanhascheezburger.com. Upload a picture of a cat doing something cute, write a caption, and there you have it! You can caption other people's pictures, too, and they yours! So much fun.

Next to OCnet, I think she spends more online time there than anywhere else. She's not kidding about the "LOLcat addict" bit.

We're nearly to breaking 195,000.  We *Can* do that tonight. 
Then the question is "Can we do 5,000 posts in the next 8 days and a bit?"

That's 625 posts per day - a lot of hard work.  And, to quote the wise originator of this thread,

No fair making heaps of one word posts to force things. 

 

[Ian Lazarus]

YES WE CAN!

 

[Fr. George]

I wonder what will happen to all the pictures in this thread in the future?  There are a number of threads from a few years ago that had photos in them, and in the process of moving the server and cutting bandwidth and whatever else was going on, they were lost/deleted.

 

[Fr. George]

YES WE CAN!

I'm glad to hear your enthusiasm.  Great stuff.

 

[Fr. George]

YES WE CAN!

Image tag removed because the site you're linking to isn't allowing you to link to their photos, and instead an ad is placed in there for their site - Cleveland, GM

Come up with a different site for your desired image.  The one you linked to didn't allow your photo to appear.

Had to settle for the one above...Bummer.

Ah well....

I think it might be a tall order, given that it's the holidays - more people spending time visiting with family and not using the computer.

 

[Athanasios]

But hey - let's aim high!

 

[Ian Lazarus]

Dern Tootin!

 

[Athanasios]

Well, we have busted through 195,000.

Less than 5,000 more posts to go!

 

[Athanasios]

And now we need one less!

 

[Fr. George]

Okay.  My suggestion is to strike up a conversation that is (a) substantive, and (b) easy to respond to rapidly yet fully.  No more one-word bonanzas.

Gotcha!


So how did the Browns do today?

 

[Fr. George]

Ugh!  That's what happens when they throw 4 interceptions.

 

[Fr. George]

We deserved to lose, but it doesn't make it any easier.  What is amazing is that they had an outside chance to win the game despite their mistakes.

 

[Fr. George]

Who do you follow (if you do at all)?  I know Youngstown is in-between territory.

I had to endure one of my grandfather's rants the other day about how it is a crime that Y-town cable doesn't carry all the Steelers sames when they all know that the town's demographics would support it.

Better than the Texas Did.

Hey, Didn't the brown become the Baltimore Ravens a while back?

 

[Athanasios]

I myself am a Pittsburgh fan (I duck as you throw cosmic rays my way ). Half of my family are Browns fans. And I am really interested right now to make sure that Pittsburgh beats them out of the top spot in the division.

Let's revive the old we hate Art Modell songs.  ;D

That's a quick way to get in a fight in Cleveland... Don't bring that up.  Art Modell is still enemy #1.

Yeah, I don't like that either! They should carry those games.

But, I was really irked when I couldn't watch the YSU/OSU game!

Done deal - Pit won and Cle lost.  So even if Pit loses next week and Cle wins, we finished tied in W/L record, but you hold the tiebreaker.

 

[Athanasios]

So they lost! Great, that means that at worst, Pittsburgh and Cleveland will tie in the division - and most likely Pittsburgh will win the division.

 

[Fr. George]

That really steams me.  But I think that was all about the Big Ten network thing - the league wants the network to be on the "Basic" cable package, and the Cable company wants to charge extra.

 

[Fr. George]

Like I said, done deal.

Oh, yeah.  Great idea!

 

[Ian Lazarus]

Okay, Who is Art Model?  I'm a Texan, and Have issues with Les Alexander (Rocket's owner) because he can't put together a stable team.  Is it the same thing?

 

[Athanasios]

Yeah, it was all about the money. The cable company I am on (Youngstown is about half-and-half on the two big cable companies - the north is on one system (Time-Warner), the south (me) is on another (Armstrong)). Armstrong refuses to pay the fees, which requires paying and carrying every game (a substantial chunk of change).
